Were you watering with a sprinkler? Summer squash hate having wet leaves. PM every time I’ve ever gotten them wet. Can’t remember a season where my squash didn’t have PM, but if a particular leaf has (what I quantify as too much) on it, I’ll take the leaf instead of the whole plant.
No, Michigan.
They were a loss.
Bummer.

My girlfriend’s first two cows. On the left is a holstein dairy steer, the meat is noticeably leaner. On the right is a “brangus,” brahma/angus cross. Chuck was a lean guy, too, but not as lean as the holstein.

I don’t eat many plants, but when I do they are typically fermented / pickled.

Garlic scapes are the stem and flower bud of a hardneck garlic plant.

Awesome! Never heard of it before, but my love for all things garlic might require that I grow some garlic specifically for scrapes.
When I was living in NY garlic grew amazingly well there, but I’ve never tried growing it in Florida

I never knew we had salmon in chicago till I knew. We have big chinook, lake trout, steelhead/rainbow, coho, All right on the shore in chicago. I know i called a trout a salmonid but ndg calls fish fishes. Thats some science shit, ill bet if you showed the best botanist freakshow he would be clueless.= he would name it after himself.
